London is filled with museums, art galleries, and major tourist attractions, including Big Ben, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, that can be explored leisurely on weekends. Students will be able to take advantage of London's theater productions and musical performances, visit designer stores and chic restaurants, stroll in Hyde Park, take 'high tea,' and explore the many ethnic neighborhoods which make up this historic and diverse metropolis. The London Internship Program combines a three-credit unpaid internship with a three-credit academic course over a seven-week period. The London Internship Program is designed to allow students to study and work in an international setting while developing an appreciation for British culture.

WISPers gathered for our first monthly event focusing on getting involved in the classroom and beyond. We learned tips on how to best relate and build connections with faculty from our speakers panel of Professor Dunsmore from Computer Science, Professor Kenney from Mathematics and Professor Gardner from Biology. Afterwards, our mentors shared their involvement on campus and offered suggestions on ways to blend academics and social time. Thanks to all who offered wisdom!
We proudly will be wearing
our new WISP t-shirts thanks to the generosity of alumna, Eileen Clark.
We will be guided by the impactful words of Mae Jemison, first African
American woman astronaut in space, chemist, biologist, linguist, dancer, and
humanitarian… “Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity,
or your curiosity. It’s YOUR place in the world; it’s YOUR life. Go
on and do all you can with it and make it the life YOU want to live.”
